25 October 2013 you are welcomed

25 October 2013 You can file the belated return without paying the payment of late fees. Under Rule 7C of Service Tax Rules 1994 the Central Excise Officer may if he is satisfied that there was sufficient reason waive the penalty for late filing when there is no liability for ST. Further there is a Departmental Instruction to field formations not to insist on filing of NIL / below taxable SSP ST-3 returns. this Circular was issued some time in 2009.

Therefore you can file the belated NIL ST-3 and also move the Department for waiver of Late Filing Penalty.

26 October 2013 Thanks Sureshji for your valuable suggestions.
